Ah, that's a shame. Do you like blue Stilton too? A favourite, sadly unavailable where I am.

Only a really screwed-up and needy narcissist would even try this nonsense on.

And yet people stand behind him, and associate themselves with him. And people vote for him, still, too.

'¡Genial!', too! Oh, and, around here, 'fatal' does not actually mean 'fatal', just 'really bad'!

True. And tax their empty houses - to the hilt. We're supposed to be grateful if they go to a few posh restaurants & buy some luxury goods. The mega-rich don't *add* anything if they don't actually live here. Enough of 'dark streets' with empty houses. They still send their kids to school/uni here.

Let them go. They aren't paying their way here, so who cares if they leave and don't pay it somewhere else?

A reminder that 75% of people support a wealth tax.

To the ‘patriots’ saying they’ll leave the country in a strop:

Paying a wealth tax on assets above £10m is not a hardship. You'll still have a fancy house, fancy car and a fancy life.

Patriotic Millionaires know. @patmillsuk.bsky.social

It is time Russian/ oligarch/ Israeli influence in British politics is properly investigated. Reform’s obvious links (Arron Banks?), Conservative Friends of Russia (not exactly hiding in plain sight), Johnson’s tennis, Labour Friends of Israel, the list goes on and on

Utterly disgusting, but another sign of the continuing emboldening of hate groups.

Labour should be as quick to act against groups like this, who are actually causing harm and breaking the law, as they declare themselves to be against those opposing genocide.
